Third Grade

Third grade is multiplication, paragraphs, and the first year a child can carry a real book alone. It is also the year the wheels come off for a lot of families, because the work gets longer and the novelty is gone. The fix is not more workbook pages. It is a shorter, steadier day and better books.

How to use it: twenty-five minutes of math, twenty-five of language arts, science and social studies on alternate days. Read history aloud, one chapter a week, from the beginning of the world. Then hand them a series they choose and get out of the way.

The whole year in one place: The Whole Year: 3rd Grade. Struggling with a specific piece? Five questions.

Ibn Al-Haytham (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 3): The Man Who Discovered How We See

  • Physics & Energy
  • Human Body & Health
  • Biography / Memoir

Why it works: Ibn Al-Haytham follows a scholar in the Muslim golden age whose questions about light and sight changed how people understood vision. His experiments and reasoning make optics and the emerging scientific process the milestones of the biography.

Maker Comics: Build a Robot!

  • Engineering & Technology
  • Physics & Energy
  • Comics / Graphic Narrative

Why it works: An evil-toaster comedy assigns the reader six increasingly varied robots to build while the comic plot promises world domination. Motors, alarms, lights, sensors, and remote control become the mechanisms of both the projects and the joke, so engineering is learned by making.
